Science confirms existence of bad hair days
New Haven, Conn. – A Yale University study of the psychology of bad hair days found people’s self-esteem goes awry when their hair is out of place. They feel less smart, less capable, more embarrassed and less sociable.
For the study, researchers questioned 60 men and 60 women ages 17 to 30, most them Yale students. They were divided into three groups and were questioned about times when they had bad hair.
What is more disturbing than the fact that bad hair days really exist, is that the study was paid for by Procter & Gamble which makes shampoo and plans a new hair-care line of products.
In other business/science news, the makers of Mydol are planning an investigation into whether menstruation is actually a curse. They have collected a group of witches, warlocks, Druids and voodoo practitioners and will grill them separately and together as to their knowledge of said curse.
Not to be outdone, the creators of Preparation H have formed a study group of their own. The focus of this gathering of sufferers will attempt to discover whether it is more embarrassing to have hemorrhoids or buy the alleged medication at the local pharmacy.
Finally, the Roman Catholic Church has pre-paid for a finding in favour of the existence of a deity. “We felt that this was money well spent if the “scientific” findings were going to be conclusive,” muttered Pope John Paul II. |
